Pregnancy - 20 Weeks

Happy Happy Halfway...Happy Happy Halfway!!! Yay! We are 20 weeks and half way through the pregnancy. We had our 20 week ultrsound this week and things are looking good with Little Kiwi, and NO...we didn't find out the sex! Actually, the Doc said that even if we wanted to know, she would have to do some searching because Kiwi was practicing some very advanced yoga moves and was completely curled up and not showing us anything...that what we like to see, a modest child! Anyway, all is well with the pregnancy, I think we are going to have a very active baby on our hands, I feel Kiwi moving at least every hour, if not more!!! Bryden has been so sweet too. I have told her that Kiwi can hear her voice now, so she sings to him/her, says I love you and I am your big sister and loves to put her head on my belly and lay on Kiwi! Such a sweetheart! I will try to catch her on video singing to Kiwi...I made up a song for her with her name in it and everything, so she sings that to the baby, but changed the name to "Baby" instead of "Bryden"...all on her own! Smart little cookie. Oh, and this week, she said she wanted to name the baby "Smushie"...hmmmm.....
Enjoy the Pics!

Fabulous Pictures

So, I am currently taking a photography class with my Dad in the hopes of being able to take better pictures of our growing family. Since Bryden is the main focus of our pictures, I practice a lot on her. Here are some really great pics of her (if I do say so myself!!!)

Pumpkin Patch

Since I was younger, my parents have taken our family to Ashland Berry Farm to pick pumpkins around Halloween. They started the tradition of bringing family and friends with us to enjoy the day together, and Jim and I are carrying on the tradition. We have gone for the past four years (since Bryden was 4 weeks old...yeah, it was more for us than her at that point!). We have a great time and make a day of it...pumpkin picking, tailgating, grilling out, playing catch, and just chilling out! We lucked out with another gorgeous day and had a great time with Nanne, Grampa, Chandra, Murat, Samantha, Jarratt, Sloan, Justin and little Barritt! Enjoy the pics!

Bryden A Little Sick

So, Bryden woke up several times last night, and when she got up this morning for school, she was very groggy and had a pretty good fever. We kept her home from school today and her and I watched a movie and took a nap. She still has a fever, but is playful not feeling the effects too badly. She decided that we should paint our fingers and toes, which she LOVES to do and is really good at it. Here are some cute pics!

Bryden Turns Three

Happy 3rd Birthday Bryden! What a big girl! We had a great weekend to celebrate Bryden turning another year older. Memere and Pepere came in from Maine, my family came up, and we had a Princess Party yesterday with all the neighborhood girls. Fun times! We rented a princess jump-a-round, made princess crowns and at some yummy cake. A special thanks to "Mr. Mumu" (aka Uncle Murat) who kept the girls entertained most of the afternoon...and to Johnny Napp, always a celebrity to the ladies! Enjoy the pics!

Bryden's New Picture Frame

Oh my gosh...I had to post this picture because I am so dang proud of my project!!! It turned out really well, which was more than I had hoped for. These are picture frames hanging from a curtain rod in Bryden's room! Yay! I am so glad it looks great!
